JOHN BIZAS
"My creativity is the language I have chosen for dialogue with the world. My work is my response to what we have done to the planet and to all the everyday cruelties that we see around us, such as wars or environmental disasters. Often we don't see the consequences of our negative actions. My work is to draw the viewer's attention to what we often overlook, both to the existing problems caused by us and to the possible solutions..."
John Bizas was born on the island of Chios in Greece in 1980. From an early age, he was interested in fine art and soon got involved in sculpture. He prefers to use marble which he processes in a very special way.
His passion for marble led him to move to Italy in 2008 where he still runs one of his studios in Pietrasanta. In addition, he has studios in Chios/Greece, Washington/ USA and Moscow / Of Russia. In his works, classical materials are combined with modern art. The artist likes to use empty space as a material in his works. So he allows the light of the environment and the viewer's gaze to penetrate into the shape of the sculpture.
His concept is the problems of our world: environmental disasters, wars and animal cruelty.
